Showing a password vs getting your face scans taken and stored in a gigantic face recognition library is a gigantic difference. Once the state has your biometrics stored, you can be ID'ed without you noticing, e. g. as you walk around the city.
- owenmarshall 7y agoAustralia - like many countries - collects fingerprints and photographs from certain groups either when you get your visa or when you enter the country. And I’d be shocked if their entry systems don’t capture 100% of passport photos at the border. I’d be slightly surprised if they don’t additionally correlate passport scans to security photos at the border to further enrich their dataset. Showing your passport is functionally equivalent to getting your picture taken. It ends up as a record in their databases that says John Smith, with these biometrics, purchased a SIM with this number.
